the roots are showing through
where I dyed my hair
impulse dye
straight out of the bottle
permanent
soft pillow
pink except it
didn’t take, my hair
just turned a different
color blonde, brassy but
still roots show like
shameful acknowledgement
of that afternoon I was
so tired of being me,
roots show like tracks in
the snow, pull me back
into my head where
I find myself
before I dye.
